pollinations-ai-image-server MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol server for generating images using Pollinations AI

This is a TypeScript-based MCP server that implements an AI image generation system. It demonstrates core MCP concepts by providing:

• Tools for generating images using Pollinations AI
• Simple integration with Claude Desktop

Features

Tools

• generate_image - Generate images using Pollinations AI
  • Takes a prompt as required parameter
  • Supports multiple image size options: 720x1280, 1280x720, 1024x1024 (default)
  • Downloads and saves the generated image to a temporary directory
  • Returns the file path of the saved image

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Installation

To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pollinations-ai-image-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/pollinations-ai-image-server/build/index.js"
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, you can use the server with Claude Desktop by asking Claude to generate images. For example:

"Please generate an image of a sunset over mountains using the pollinations-ai-image-server."

You can specify the image size by adding it to your request: "Generate a portrait (720x1280) image of a cat using pollinations-ai-image-server."

Supported image sizes:

• 720x1280 (portrait)
• 1280x720 (landscape)
• 1024x1024 (square, default)

The image will be generated using Pollinations AI with the following settings:

• Model: flux
• Seed: 42

The generated image will be saved to a temporary directory and the file path will be returned.

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
